In this month’s edition . . .

The Cotswold Times is very ‘on message’ this month, with colour running throughout the magazine. Our articles this month travel too, with Alain Rouveure sharing one of his experiences in Nepal, a million miles away from our concerns about adoption, caring and volunteering in our civilised western world. The Fire Services College is hosting an exciting fireworks display and bonfire, provided free of charge by their experienced firemen who will also be collecting donations for a charity. Nick John, Sounds Alive, interviewed Maddy Prior for the magazine as Steeleye Span tour through the Cotswolds in October.

We are also publishing the Answers to this year’s Photo Competition. We had an tremendous number of entries this year, and these have taken a longer than usual amount of time to check, and re-check, as we assemble the list of Winners, ready to contact them with a list of prizes in October. I am sorry if the delay is causing any tension – it hasn’t been intentional!

The clocks go back to GMT at the end of October, and we are already collecting Christmas articles and event notices. If your village is planning a Christmas event and would like to extend an invitation to our readers, our Events pages are designed to help you do just that! Most community events are published on our pages free of charge…do contact us and ask about yours! From choirs to coffee mornings, and fundraising to local festivals, with walks and craft sales along the way, we hope that this will be a wonderful month. I do hope you will enjoy it . Best wishes, Jenni

Moreton-in-Marsh Domiciliary Care Agency ‘outstanding’ – CQC report

A service in Moreton supporting people with learning disabilities to live independently in their own homes has been rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Adult social care services are inspected by the CQC to determine whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.

Gloucestershire DCA (Domiciliary Care Agency) is run by national learning disabilities charity Hft. It was described as “exceptionally caring” and “extremely responsive” following its inspection at the end of June.

Gloucestershire DCA received an overall rating of ‘Outstanding’ placing it in the top two per cent of adult social care services inspected by CQC. The report noted that both management and care staff had a “good understanding of people’s needs and wishes, and consistently went the extra mile to communicate and support them effectively.”

It also recognised the specific focus “given to getting to know each person as an individual” and the “strong commitment to deliver a high standard of personalised care and continued improvement.”

The services at Gloucestershire DCA range from supporting people to manage their own homes, to taking part in daily activities, finding work, making friends and developing relationships.

Tucked away near Todenham, just outside Moreton in Marsh, are the Alain Rouveure Galleries, Garden and Himalayan Café - a remarkable and unique haven of peaceful energy. Owned and run by Alain Rouveure, the Galleries specialise in products from Nepal and the Himalayas, items that you do not see anywhere else, made by Craftsmen and women supported and encouraged by Alain since his first visit in 1979. All the profits from the Galleries fund essential social projects in Nepal.

Working closely with the Nepalese, Alain has found it impossible not to be aware of the many pressing issues in this beautiful but poor country. He is passionate about his social work in Nepal, and The Alain Rouveure Nepal Fund has become a UK registered charity.

The Nepal Fund provides health and education to many vulnerable children

- looking after twenty underprivileged children and supporting another twenty-three orphans keeps Alain ‘on his toes’Alain spends six months of the year in Nepal for his Galleries - which means that his small charity has no administration costs and that ALL the donations received can go directly to where funding is most needed.

For nearly forty years Alain has witnessed some of the harsh realities of everyday life in Nepal. With no National Health, sickness in the family can have devastating financial consequences. Many will have to sell their land and home in order pay their medical bills. Without social schooling, many poor parents will sacrifice most of what they have in order to send their children to school. There are laws against child labour, but since the earthquake in 2015, more children than ever are being sold, trafficked or abandoned.

The following story is the latest, but by no means the worst.“Last May, before I was due to return to the UK, I was very worried that one of the boarders at the school that I sponsor, Sujal, was not back from visiting his grandfather eight days after the star of the school term.”

Alain’s concern was understandable. “Three years before, when he was only five, Sujal had been abandoned at one if the rural schools I sponsor. His parents had enrolled him as a boarder, then disappeared without a trace. I took over the fees and welfare of this little boy and two other children, Roshan and Puja, abandoned in similar circumstances.

“Last year when I was in the UK, Sujal’s father came to the school unannounced and took him away without a word. It took us two months to find out that Sujal was no longer with his father but at his

The background The story

COTSWOLD TIMES | 15

grandparent’s farm. The School’s heads had contacted the Police but were told that nothing could be done because the child was with his family.

“ Nepal is not the West - there are no social services protecting a child’s wellbeing. We had no rights over Sujal. Knowing what can happen to children in Nepal, I could not rest. I asked the Principal to walk with me, and little Roshan, to the farm two hours away.”

They arrived at the isolated farm, derelict after the recent earthquakes, and found the small boy in a sad state – filthy, with matted hair, his clothes were torn and he had worn-out oversized shoes on his feet. Roshan rushed to talk to him and the two boys held hands.

The grandfather had found Sujal begging outside a city temple, abandoned once again by his father. He had been sleeping rough and had not eaten for days. The old man took the boy back home with him.

“I was horrified by what I had heard…but why wasn’t Sujal back in school? Getting through to the old man was not easy – we talked about the weather, how hard life was on a farm, how far it was to bring water back in a bucket and to get firewood on your own. I then realised that these were the reasons why he did not want Sujal in school.

“ Negotiations were tough, but Sujal wanted to go back to school and, given the poor state the boy was in, I was not going to give up. Eventually the angry old man agreed on condition that he could have the boy during the school holidays. For months Sujal went back and forth to the farm and all was well until the last holiday. Ten days passed and when he had still not come back to school the Principal called the grandfather, who told him that Sujal was not there. Still the Police wouldn’t get involved.”

Child labour and child trafficking, although wide spread and mostly unreported in

Nepal, is a crime. Back in UK Alain was deeply worried and felt helpless. Two months has passed and he decided he would go there, to challenge the Police himself. In Kathmandu eighteen hours later Alain drove the two hours to the Police Station in a small battered taxi. The Chief Officer was shocked that a westerner would travel to the other side of the world for a child. Having listened to the story he called the grandfather and realised that the old man was lying and immediately dispatched a truck with four men to the farm. Back at the station for questioning, the old man was belligerent. The Chief Officer was losing his patience. They eventually found out that Sujal was with his parents in the city. Although it was already 8pm, late for Nepal, Alain insisted that they all went there to make sure that Sujal was OK. They arrived unannounced at a dirty tenement in a poor neighbourhood. The parents were there, but Sujal was nowhere to be seen.

The whole family lived in a small dark and windowless room. “It was grim and tense, and it did not feel safe. It was obvious that we were not welcome. No one was willing to give any information. The Officer lost

his temper and threatened to charge the whole community with child trafficking! Sujal, who had been told to hide, suddenly reappeared!” The boy’s initial reaction was to run to Alain but his father stopped him. His mother admitted that she wanted Sujal to look after her two small girls while she was working for a construction company, carrying bags of sand for a pittance.

“ I tried to reason and convince the parents that Sujal’s future was better in school, and begged them to allow him back, free of charge as before. They gave in, and we all agreed to meet at the Police Station the next morning at 10am to sign binding legal documents, which would protect the child. We left at 10pm, exhausted but hopeful. I had seen Sujal and he was OK!”

Mission Accomplished!The next day Alain was at the station an hour early, smiling. The family arrived two hours late and in a filthy mood. They had changed their minds overnight and Sujal had been told not to go near Alain! After another two hours of tough negotiation, with Alain making it clear that he did not wish to ‘own’ Sujal, there was finally a breakthrough. They understood that the long tem benefits of an education in the 3rd best school in the district would guarantee better earnings for the whole family. Suddenly all the documents were signed!

The official documents stated that Alain was the Sponsor responsible for Sujal’s education and welfare. The parents would let the child attend school as a boarder, and they would have Sujal during the school holidays as little or as much as they wished – providing they brought him back to school the night before the class started. Not abiding to the rules, the parents would be arrested for Child Trafficking.

“I never thought they would sign these documents, but they did and willingly!” They said their goodbyes and the family left. Alain, Sujal and the Principal drove back to the school.

“I believe in Miracles. Miracles do happen. This child’s story is a miracle.”

A few days later Alain was back in UK, a much happier man. What is Important to him is to make a difference where it matters.

CDC reminds businesses to enquire about rate reliefCotswold District Council’s leader is reminding local firms that they may qualify for business rate relief under proposals first announced in the March 2017 budget.The Council has already written to businesses which are likely to meet the criteria encouraging them to apply for relief while the scheme is still open.

The relief scheme includes support to small businesses facing large increases of over £600 a year in their business rates. Up to £1,000 discount is also available for qualifying public houses with a rateable value of under £100,000. Additionally, there is a discretionary fund to assist businesses with a rateable value of less than £200,000 and facing a rates increase of over £600 this year.

Mark Annett, Leader of CDC, is keen to promote this relief scheme: “So far the response has been a disappointing 40%. With substantial savings available I am eager to ensure that companies across the District are fully aware of the potential financial benefits on offer, and enquire about their eligibility for rates relief.“ Contact the Council on 01285 623000 to find out whether you qualify.

Tour of Britain 2017

The Redesdale Hall Clock Many residents have commented to the council about the length of time it is taking to get the Redesdale Hall clock working again. The clock has had a chequered history over the last few years with a lot of stoppages. The Council has employed a renowned clock specialist Smith of Derby to look at the clock and a number of tests have been run to establish the problem, which is still unclear. The most recent report shows that the stoppages occur as a result of temporary power outages. We are now in the process of investigating the power systems within the Hall. We apologise to residents for the long periods that the clock has been out of service but would like to assure them that the matter is ongoing.

Transportation in the North Cotswolds – UpdateCllr Dr Nigel Moor summarises the latest developments

IT IS NOW five months since the May county council elections and I want to summarise for readers the progress we are making in dealing with the traffic and

highways issues that featured so strongly in the elections.

A417 The Missing Link between the M4 and M5 – £225 m to fix County Blackspot

A traffic blackspot with a terrible record for accidents. It is a trunk road managed by Highways England but was built with a 5 km stretch of single carriageway road near Nettleton Bottom which causes immense congestion. All the county`s MPs have backed it and Highways England are pushing ahead with the scheme. Secretary of State for Transport Chris Grayling visited the site in April and a public consultation exercise to analyse the shortlist of routes should take place this year. Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) have pledged £4m to assist Highways England in their planning for the road. Completion of the scheme is also important for the North Cotswolds because it is part of the longer term plan to divert HGV`s onto the national strategic road network rather than using the county`s road system.

Biggest ever £150m investment in our roadsWe said that if elected we would deliver Gloucestershire`s biggest ever road investment scheme which will see over £150 million spent in the next five years. At last month`s cabinet meeting the highways procurement strategy to deliver this investment was agreed. Following reviews of best practice elsewhere, the proposal put to cabinet is to bring back control to the council in determining, designing and planning the delivery of highways works whilst procuring separate contractors to deliver service on the ground to drive best value delivery. This will see the council undertaking three separate procurements:

• Term Maintenance Contract for the delivery of routine highways maintenance such as pothole repairs, grass cutting, gully cleansing and the delivery of minor improvement works.

• Structural Maintenance Contract providing a direct relationship with a tier one contractor for the delivery of our roads resurfacing work including the additional investment.

• Professional Services Contract which will support the councils staff in specialised detail design work (i.e: on bridges, geotechnical (landslips), drainage schemes) as well as providing design and project management for our major schemes.

This means that some services will be delivered in- house with public rights of way staff, area highway representatives and customer contact centre staff transferring back to council employment. In addition, the council will transfer in or recruit design and engineering expertise.

Mobilisation for this change has started and the programme anticipates a commencement by October 2018. The current Term Maintenance Contract with Amey is for five years, ending on 31 March 2019, which means for part of this time the contracts will run in parallel. My own view is that the new arrangement will give the county a much more focussed highways service which will be more responsive to local needs.

Housing Infrastructure FundThis is a government capital grant programme of up to £2.3 billion and is awarded to local authorities on a highly competitive basis, providing grant funding for new infrastructure to support new and existing communities. There are two funds – the first is for bids of up to £10m and in two–tier areas such as Gloucestershire, bids can only be made by district councils. My cabinet colleague Cllr Lynden Stowe and I have asked Cotswold District Council (CDC) with GCC technical support to bid for improvements to Moreton Railway Bridge where the A429 crosses the Paddington rail line near Budgens. We remain convinced that the narrow width of the bridge which has to cater for HGV`s travelling in both directions is a threat to the resilience of the North Cotswolds should an accident occur and the railway line be blocked possibly for several months. The second fund is for much larger projects and GCC are applying for schemes around Junction 10 on the M5.

Proposed HGV restriction in Burford, OxfordshireThe National Freight Journey Planner, part of the Freight Gateway service, shows a preferred lorry route between Evesham and Oxford via the A424 to Stow, A429 to Northleach and then A40 to Oxford. The aim behind this is to reduce HGV traffic along the A44 through Moreton in Marsh and Chipping Norton, as well as along the A424 through Burford.

There has been considerable pressure for many years from Oxfordshire local members, town councils and residents for environmental weight limits in and around Burford and Chipping Norton to reinforce this advisory route. Although budgetary pressures have prevented Oxfordshire from



implementing these, Burford are keen to pursue a locally funded scheme for a weight limit zone covering Burford and some of the area north of the town including both the A424 and A361. The current situation is that Oxfordshire’s cabinet member has now approved in principle a weight limit for Burford.

Oxfordshire’s aspirations to reduce lorry traffic on the A44 through Moreton in Marsh and Chipping Norton and A40 Burford are likely to provide a benefit for Moreton in Marsh and Bourton on the Hill and the northern section of the A429. However, the impact on Stow on the Wold is much less certain and there is a significant potential for HGVs to simply divert onto the A424 or the A436 and thus the A429 – this could have a significant impact on Stow on the Wold where congestion is already a growing local issue.

Oxfordshire have provided a plan showing the boundary of the area under consideration. This has been scaled down considerably from the original proposal. The proposed restriction would prohibit HGVs over 7.5 tonnes from using the A361 Burford High Street (and River Windrush Bridge) that were not designed to cater for modern heavy traffic. The Order will not prevent access for delivery requirements. The proposal includes extensive advance signing both in Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire to try to ensure HGV traffic is diverted onto suitable routes.

Although GCC sympathise with the issues that HGV traffic through historic towns and villages can cause, there are significant concerns that the impact of restricting HGV traffic in Burford High Street will simply divert HGV`s to other routes and create or exacerbate congestion, air and noise pollution issues in other locations. Therefore,

GCC has formally objected to the proposals to introduce a weight restriction in Burford High Street. However this has raised the profile of this issue and I have asked GCC officers to convene a meeting of councillors and officers from the neighbouring counties of Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Wiltshire so that we can look at this issue in a holistic way and lobby government for the changes necessary to reduce the HGV traffic on our county roads.

A429 /A433 Corridor StudyGCC have also commissioned a study of the A429 through the county to review background data on future development, traffic growth, road safety, freight, public transport, and walking and cycling provision. In November 2015 a scrutiny task group of GCC councillors convened to consider congestion and road safety issues. There are also ongoing concerns regarding the impact of slow moving traffic and levels of journey time delay resulting from increased HGV traffic using the corridor and associated link roads.

CDC is in the process of developing it`s Local Plan 2031 development proposals in this emerging Local Plan and the planning documents of surrounding local authorities will also have a considerable impact on the operation of the corridor.

I therefore decided that a transport study is required, to assess the impacts of traffic growth and proposed developments impacting on the A429 / A433 corridor. The study will analyse and make recommendations on road safety, HGV movements, public transport as well as walking and cycling provision. The final outcome would be a report based on these elements and including a costed list of interventions and I hope this will be available before the end of the year.

The A433 / A429 Highway corridor runs in a north easterly direction through the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty from Junction 18 of the M4 Motorway, to Junction 15 of the M40 Motorway. It is a strategic ‘A Class’ rural road with a predominantly single track carriageway. An intermittent pedestrian provision is provided along part of the route. Traffic flows are between 6,000 and 15,000 vehicles a day, with an estimated HGV flow of 200 to 300 vehicles per day. However, traffic volumes at specific pinch points on the corridor, such as south of Stow, can average just under 20,000. The A429 has few speed restrictions other than when passing through communities where speed limits are restricted to 50 mph and 40 mph. Speed limits of 30 mph are the norm through town centres. The route is classified as a Primary Link within the GCC Local Transport Plan. This means it is strategic route within the county which is critical for the local economy. It is also a designated freight route.

When I was first elected five years ago I quickly formed the impression that the traffic and highway issues of the North Cotswolds had been neglected. Since then I have done as much as I can to ensure that this is now no longer the case and I will provide readers with regular reports of what we are doing at the county level.

Cllr Dr Nigel Moor is the county councillor for the Stow Division which includes Moreton in Marsh and the Rissingtons as well as villages to the west of the A429. His is the cabinet member for Fire, Planning & Infrastructure. These are his own views and not necessarily those of Gloucestershire County Council or Gloucestershire Conservatives.

Property hot spot: Cotswolds has fastest-growing house prices in Britain

Cotswolds house prices have surged by more than sixteen per cent in a year – the highest growth rate anywhere in Britain, according to a new report.

The Office for National Statistics revealed yesterday that the area’s average house price was £384,745 in July, having risen 16.2 per cent in the previous twelve months.

The figures relate to areas covered by Cotswold District Council, which include Cirencester, Tetbury, Moreton-in-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Campden, Fairford, Lechlade and Northleach.

The borough with the second highest growth rate was Hinckley and Bosworth, which saw a 14.7 per cent hike in prices.

The average house in Britain costs £226,185, 5.1 per cent up on July 2016.

Prices in the south-west have reached £252,213, after increasing by seven per cent. This is only half a percentage point lower than the region with the highest annual growth, the East Midlands.

The lowest growth was in London, where prices rose by just 2.8 per cent.

A new Villager bus arrivesJamie Avis

Many readers of the Cotswold Times magazines will know about the Villager, our local volunteer Bus company.

We are pleased to announce the delivery of a new bus to join our fleet. This is another Fiat Low Floor Orion sixteen-seater, and joins the three others we are currently operating.

These modern buses are extremely popular with our drivers and passengers alike, with their easy access and comfortable seating. They are also very efficient to operate, as already proved by the other three in the fleet, helping us to keep our costs down, and our fares low.

The purchase of this bus would not have been possible without the enthusiastic support of our many passengers, for whom the Villager is a lifeline, enabling them to go shopping, meet friends and attend medical appointments in the major towns in our area we serve.

We also wish to acknowledge the generous support we have received from Chipping Norton Co-Op, who have sponsored three buses in our fleet. This new bus will proudly carry their new branding.

We are always on the lookout for volunteer drivers, male and female. If you would

like to drive a shiny red Villager bus round our beautiful countryside, and make a huge difference to the many people who live in our villages, please contact Keith Gowing at www.villagerbus.com

We look forward to welcoming you on board.

£4.9m Eco-Friendly Supermarket to open in Bourton-on-the-WaterA brand-new eco-friendly supermarket is coming to Bourton-on-the-Water, which will feature renewable energy to help power the store, as well energy efficient technologies.

The new 14,517 sq. ft. Midcounties Co-operative Food store on Station Road, which will create thirty-four new jobs, will open in October, following a £4.9 million investment.

The supermarket has been constructed with environmental sustainability in mind. It features discreet solar panels on the roof to provide around 33,000kwh a year of energy – enough to power almost three households per year.

In addition, the store’s water will be heated using warmth generated by the main refrigeration units, and low-energy LED lighting will be used throughout.

The new store will also have four, free electric car charge points in the customer car park, which has 100 spaces.

The new Midcounties Co-operative Food in Bourton-on-the-Water will stock more than 800 products made in Gloucestershire and the neighbouring counties as part of the Society’s Best of Our Counties range, which supports local producers – reducing food miles in the process. It will also include a fresh fish and delicatessen counter featuring locally-produced cheeses, pies and cooked meats, an olive bar, and an artisan bread bakery.

Andy Bartlett, store manager of the Bourton-on-the-Water store, said: “As a co-operative, sustainability is extremely important to us and we strive to be as environmentally responsible as possible at all of our sites. The Bourton-on-the-Water store has been carefully designed to have a very low carbon footprint, with features like the solar panels and low-energy lighting.

“Now the store is near completion, we can’t wait to open the doors and welcome people to their new Midcounties Co-operative Food supermarket.”

Cotswold MP Supports Badger CullAfter taking advice from DEFRA, Natural England issued a license to kill a large number of badgers in Gloucestershire within the next five years. Natural England claim this will prevent the spread of bovine TB in the county.

The scheme, which will see up to 580 badgers killed in Gloucestershire, has gained the support of Cotswold MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown.

“No-one wants to see badgers culled unnecessarily,” said Mr Clifton-Brown of the Conservative Party.

“However, the emotional and economic hardship caused to farmers by the enormous increase of TB cases in livestock means that the government must use every tool available to combat this disease.

“I have seen first-hand the time and expense that farmers undertake to run these badger cull zones and they wouldn’t do this unless they felt their livelihood wasn’t threatened by TB.

“Any Member of Parliament that represents a rural area and opposed the cull is not representing those farmers,” he added.

However, David Drew, Labour MP representing Stroud and a shadow DEFRA minister feels that there are more effective ways to deal with the disease.

“The badger cull is not only inhumane, destroying hundreds of badgers the vast majority of which will be clear of bovine TB, but this whole exercise is a colossal waste of money not underpinned by science,” he said.

“There are better and more effective ways to deal with this dreadful disease.”

Mr Clifton-Brown responded, saying “despite Mr Drew’s claims there are no realistic alternatives” to deal with the disease.

The chief veterinary officer, Nigel Gibbens, was consulted by DEFRA. Mr Gibbens advised that culling badgers to

maintain the population at a set level was the best way to manage the disease-risk of bovine TB.

“Earlier this year we announced plans to licence supplementary badger control in areas that have successfully completed intensive culls, allowing them to maintain disease control benefits for many years to come in line with plans set out in the TB strategy,” a Defra spokesman said.

Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust remains strongly opposed to the badger cull stating that the scientific evidence shows that it will not work in controlling the problem of TB in cattle.

However, it sympathises strongly with the plight and pain of farmers in affected areas.

“We are shocked by the announcement that Natural England will be offering those currently holding a badger control license the opportunity to apply to cull badgers for a further five years,” said Colin Studholme, the trust’s director of conservation.

“This flies in the face of the government’s own scientific evidence and previous guidance which said that culling would only be ‘necessary’ over a period of four years.

“We believe it is a further admission that the badger cull policy has failed and it contradicts the strong weight of opinion expressed in an earlier consultation on the issue.”

Opposition to the badger cull remains strong in the county. Protesters are gearing-up for rallies at sites around Gloucestershire as soon as details of target areas are revealed.

Editors Comment: Has any evidence been provided that any of the shot badgers were carrying Bovine TB? Apparently it isn’t a difficult test and there are many other wild animals that roam across Gloucestershire.

• Turning to humour and stocking fillers: the usual annual Private Eye and Best of Matt, as well as more unpublished letters to The Daily Telegraph, not to mention more spoof Ladybird ti-tles (The Quiet Night In, The Big Night Out, Balls, etc) and more in the spoof Five . . . series (Five at the Office Christmas Party, Escape Brexit Island, Get Gran Online, etc). Quentin Letts lets rip at the elites who betrayed Britain in Patronising Bastards. Richard Osman has The World Cup of Everything (and no, it’s not football).

• Great new titles for our younger readers. BIGGEST: La Belle Sauvage, the first in The Book of Dust, by Philip Pullman (His Dark Materials, etc), and Turtles All the Way Down by John Green (The Fault in Our Stars, etc). ALMOST AS BIG: a new picture book from David Walliams (his new story comes in No-vember), and The Girl with the Lost Smile by Miranda Hart. NOT QUITE SO BIG: Katinka’s Tail by Judith Kerr, The Snow Angel by Lauren St John, and Another Year of Plumdog by Emma Chichester Clark.

Over fi fty years from her fi rst appearances on the 60s folk scene, Maddy Prior is one of the most enduring, infl uential and respected artists in British music. In 1969, she and singer/guitarist, Tim Hart, joined forces with Terry and Gay Woods and Ashley Hutchings of Fairport Convention to form a band fusing folk with a more contemporary, electric sound. Taking its name, Steeleye Span, from a character in traditional Lincolnshire ballad, ‘Horkstow Grange’, the group took folk music from the clubs into the charts with ‘Gaudete’, a Christmas chart entry in 1973 and ‘All Around My Hat’, a no. 5 hit in 1975. Maddy has also released many solo albums and regularly performs with The Carnival Band, performing Christmas music and exploring her love of early music and hymns. In 2000, she was awarded an MBE in recognition of her longstanding contribution to folk music. With a performance at The Theatre in Chipping Norton in October and a UK Winter Tour with Steeleye Span on the horizon, she talks here to Nicholas John.

Your October tour features Giles Lewin and Hannah James and there’s a new album, ‘Shortwinger’, which has a central theme about nature?It has, there are a lot of pieces about birds and one about hares. We’re all interested in nature and we can all relate to birds. The album has worked out really well. One piece is called ‘Murmuration’ and ‘The Austringer’ is another one with an unusual title. It describes the relationship between a Goshawk and its handler.

Is the album newly-written material or traditional arrangements?We do ‘The Lark In The Clear Air’ but everything else is new material. The three of us bring separate things to the table in terms of songs and lyrics. Giles pretty much writes the piece and then works with Hannah on the arrangement. I bring in words and bits of tunes – I’m a little bit more vague! This album is similar in style to the 3 For Joy album we released in 2012 but is based more on rural English aspects.

The music on that album covered everything you’ve worked on over your career: obviously folk, elements of medieval music, Eastern European stylings – We’ve kept that for this album as well but it’s not quite as full on, it’s a little more woven in this time. We’ll do songs from both albums on the tour and I always do material from things I’ve done previously - although the trouble with Steeleye is that it has such a vast repertoire!

And after the dates with Giles and Hannah, there’s an extensive UK tour with Steeleye Span - There’s a couple of weeks between tours, but yes, we’ll be doing a tour from mid-November. The fi rst half is going to be the very fi rst Steeleye album (1970’s ‘Hark! The Village Wait’) and the second half more of the newer material from the last few albums, including ‘Wintersmith’ and ‘Dodgy Bastards’, which have more of a heavy rock feel. With a bigger band, we’ve got more clout!

Steeleye has constantly evolved and undergone many line-up changes but you’ve kept on releasing new music. Do you think the band has avoided falling into the nostalgia trap?I like to think we have, because we

don’t stay still and we don’t do the same things. We have such a vast repertoire, we don’t just repeat the same songs all the time. And we’d have no interest in doing that anyway. The one song we always tend to do is ‘All Around My Hat’.

You’ve got to play that one, haven’t you?Well, there have been tours when we’ve not played it but, because we’re not a tribute band to ourselves, the only song you can absolutely guarantee everyone will know is ‘Hat’ - it’s become our anthem. That song is a part of our life.

There’s a defi nite folk revival happening again now, isn’t there? It must help bring younger audiences to see Steeleye, and to your own solo gigs?There’s a massive revival going on, with young musicians who are absolutely superb and doing really interesting things. Hannah is one of them. She’s a brilliant songwriter and interpreter of traditional song. For me, it’s all about the material, that’s what’s important. I always think we’re the vehicle for the songs. Some of them are really dark, they dig into dark places, but they’re always fascinating. Singing about profound things is a great way to examine them.

You call this your “extraordinary job.” You’ve been doing it a long time. Do you ever get to the point where you think “I’ve had enough now?” Of course, as in any walk of life, there are always moments when you think “I wish I was doing something else.” But that’s not usually when I’m on stage, it’s usually when I’m in the bloody van! There are bits of touring that can be tedious, but the gigs are always great!

The months are ticking by and several tax deadlines are looming. If you have been asked to submit a Tax Return and you wish to file a paper Return you should do this by the end of the month. The

online filing deadline is 31st January 2018. If you haven’t received a notice to submit a Tax Return but you have additional income to declare to year ending 5 April 2017, you should either request a paper return to file immediately or submit the information online by the date requested.From this month, new employers will have to automatically enrol staff into a pension scheme starting immediately. Staging dates are no longer being used, so if you’re a new employer, make sure that you start your declaration of compliance and setup a pension scheme if your staff wish to opt in. As from 6 April 2018 even bigger changes come into effect which many employers and employees are unaware of hence they won’t have factored in the increased contributions. At present employees and employers contribute a minimum of 1% each into the pension scheme whereas from April next year employers will have to contribute 2% of gross salary and employees will contribute 3%. For many this will be a big increase so it’s worth looking at how these increases will affect your business.Once again, it seems that far from making life easier for businesses, our politicians are hell bent on pursuing a path of more bureaucracy, more paperwork and increased costs for all businesses whether small, medium or large. Ultimately the economy will suffer, many businesses will be forced to close and the good work that’s seen high employment will be undone. There is only so much that businesses can take and we’re rapidly getting to the point where many will become unviable.If in doubt about filing any of your Returns, or if you simply want help in organising your business paperwork, then give me a ring. I will be more than happy to help.Robb Eden is based in Moreton-in-Marsh. He can be contacted via e-mail at [email protected] or by telephone 01608 651802.

In anticipation of the Tour of Britain visiting the Cotswolds, Cotswold Tourism approached the Great British Bike Build (GBBB) and the Tyndale Cycling Club, with a view to them promoting cycling, in particular traditional cycling, as well as showing the world what the Cotswolds has to offer.

The result was 55 riders on their heritage bikes arriving in Moreton in Marsh, and after some words of encouragements from Councillor Kit Havelock-Davies, the riders set off. They spent an hour ‘refuelling’ in Stow on the Wold, before Town Mayor Cllr Ben Eddolls, wearing a top hat, led the riders in the second of their journey.

Arriving at Bourton on the Water they were able to rest and refuel further, with tea and, for those who wanted it, beer provided by Cotswold Brewery, while waiting for the Tour of Britain to arrive.

As you can see from these photos the occasion was enjoyed greatly by all.

OUT OF HOURS MEDICAL SERVICESIn July of this year the contract for providing out of hours GP medical services was newly awarded to a private company, a large non-charitable organisation originating in London. This occurs at the same time that fewer GPS are working out of hours both at local centres and on visits, and as the most distant area in Gloucestershire, the N Cots debatably has been more affected than most areas. It also increases pressures on local MIU’s and central Casualty departments. If people using the service would like to comment on any aspect of their experience, providing feedback to the NHS commissioning group is appropriate as patients’ inputs are always taken seriously.

The Rotary Club of the North Cotswolds

In light of the vast problems being caused in the Caribbean by Hurricane Irma, the Caribbean Hurricane Appeal, which was set up in 2016 by Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland Donations Trust, has been re-opened. A Recovery Fund has also been set up by local Rotarians, based in District 7020 (Northern Caribbean). Out of the ten countries or territories covered by District 7020, all ten of them - Anguilla, St. Maarten, St. Martin / St. Barts, British Virgin Islands, United States Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, Haiti and Bahamas have been affected.

With the invaluable co-operation of Tesco (Stow on the Wold) and The Co-Operative (Bourton-on-the-Water), North Cotswold Rotary Club organized a collection with the aim of purchasing a Shelter Box for distribution in an affected area. Over the 10th, 11th and 12th September a magnificent total of over £1,200.00 was raised.

Our sincere thanks to all who gave so generously – Without you we could not make a difference.

Student Reports: On Thursday, 28 September Isabel Sketchley-Murray is coming to report on her project in Nepal and on 12 October Ed Sanders will describe climbing Mt Kilimanjaro (supporting Meningitis Research Foundation to which the Club has already made a donation).These are part of a series of reports from local students, whom the Club helps to raise funds to go on worthwhile projects overseas in which they help with local building projects or take part in educational programmes.Local Events: The next major event is the annual Tree of Light and popular mulled wine stall at the Christmas Fair on Saturday afternoon 2 December. The lights, which have been donated in memory of loved ones, will be switched on at 6 pm Last year the Tree of Light and mulled wine stall at the Christmas Fair together raised well over £2000.Next month we shall be distributing leaflets in the town and villages, by which people can make a donation (c. £5 or more) in memory of departed loved ones. The names will be displayed on the tree and on a list in the Post Office. The proceeds will as usual be shared between local charities.This is a continuing part of our programme of service within the community. Over the years with your support and generosity we have raised and distributed in excess of £100,000 for local and international projects and charities. As there are no administration costs or wages to pay, every penny you helped us raise has gone directly to where it is needed.Once again we will have a stall selling mulled wine and mince pies

to raise money for local good causes. Come and help us if you can spare the time.New members: On Thursday, 14 October Jill Leese and Brian Gray were inducted as Rotarians, making five new members in all this year. The increase in membership gives the Club extra resources to serve within the community.Recent reports: Katie Pritchard gave a confident and informative talk on 24 August about her experiences in Peru with Camps International for three months from February this year. She had researched to find a charity that made a difference for local people, and not just provided “voluntourism”. During her two weeks she helped to build five toilet blocks. Moving on to Camp Colca she worked on constructing a greenhouse, necessary because of the high winds and low winter temperatures. Work at her next camp on the shore of Lake Titicaca also involved greenhouses, plus the chance to teach English. Conditions at each camp were basic, without electricity and transport, except for a community truck. She ended her stay with a five day trek to Machu Picchu reaching an altitude of 4600 metres.Further events: Thursday, 21 December – Christmas Dinner.New members and enquirers are always welcome at our meetings at the Cotswold House Hotel on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month at 6.45 for 7 pm.

Our Long Exposures one day workshop takes in the north Somerset coast including Weston-Super-Mare, with its vast stretch of beach and magnificent pier, plus the iconic Burnham on Sea Grade II listed lighthouse.

We will guide you through the whole process from compositional considerations to metering, exposure and focusing, so if you are looking to master the technique of long exposures, this workshop is for you. Plus, we’ll have some top quality Lee Big and Little Stoppers on hand for you to borrow.

We will visit some of the most spectacular locations in the region, among them; Bedruthan Steps with its incredible rock formations, the pretty harbour of Boscastle, the Rumps, Trevose Head, Trevone Bay and Trebarwith Strand.This three day workshop provides plenty of challenges and a great opportunity for developing your photographic technique and mastering the use of filters whilst amongst some outstanding scenery.

These workshops focus on the making of abstract images. Andy will be encouraging you to look beyond the obvious and find new ways of interpretation. As well as looking at the composition and effective capture of close up and graphic images, giving consideration to shape, form and texture, there is also the chance to experiment with ICM (intentional camera movement) and in-camera multiple exposures to produce some truly unique captures.There is huge potential here for the photographer with the opportunity to develop your artistic side with primary consideration to texture, colour and close-up detail.There are just 6 places available on each workshop to ensure plenty of individual help and guidance.

The spectacular Glamorgan Heritage Coast as well as the many delightful waterfalls found in the Vale of Neath, south of the Breacon Beacons, are the subject matter for our two day autumn workshop this October.With a focus on water, this workshop will offer an excellent opportunity to hone your exposure skills, make full use of neutral density and polarising filters and to master the capture of water movement.

Blockley Ladies Choir

At the end of the Blockley Ladies Choir thirtieth anniversary year, members are delighted that the choir, having entered the Royal Schools of Music Intermediate Choral Examination, passed, again with an excellent A grade.

Members had worked very hard with their musical director Rosie Marlborough following their Anniversary concerts in Moreton in Marsh and Blockley in May. We celebrated our success with an excellent meal at the Great Western Arms.

When we return on Tuesday, 5 September from a short summer break, we shall be rehearsing for our concerts at Blockley on November 25th and Moreton on the 26th.

If there are any ladies of any age who would like to join us (sorry gentlemen!) please come to the Little Village Hall, Bell Bank, Blockley on a Tuesday at 7.30 pm. There is no test but an ability to read music is helpful but not essential. We sing in three parts, first and second sopranos and altos.

Entries open for photographic competition in memory of ardent supporter

Run each year by Fordingbridge-based charity Game & Wildlife Conservation

Trust (GWCT), the Julian Gardner Award offers budding amateur photographers the chance to capture the UK countryside, including people who live and work there, game, wildlife, various habitats and landscape.

The sixth competition, which has an adult and junior section, was launched five years ago in memory of Julian Gardner, a Sussex farmer and lifelong supporter of the GWCT who was tragically killed while defending his property in October 2010.

The winner of the adult category will be awarded a sculpture of a hare and the champion of the junior category – for children aged sixteen and under – will be presented a sculpture of a leveret.

The top three photographs from each section will be printed in Gamewise and featured on GWCT’s website. The images will be judged by a panel on composition, originality and technical ability.

Last year saw Richard Gunther, of Rye, scoop first prize in the adult competition with his stunning image of a herd of deer (pictured above), while in the under-sixteen category, Lauren Smewing entered a remarkable close-up of a frog in the grass.

Anyone wishing to take part are able to email a maximum of two photographs to [email protected] by 30 April 2018.

More details can be found at www.gwct.org.uk/photocompetition

Competition rulesThe competition is only open to amateur photographers. Entries must not have been offered for sale or have won other competitions and they must have been taken in the UK. Images of zoo and captive animals will not be considered. You can enter a maximum of two photographs in colour or black and white; any photos you attempt to submit after the first two will not be accepted for the competition. Only digital entries supplied as high-quality JPEGs (a minimum size of 1MB, maximum 6MB) will be considered.

By submitting any photographs, you agree to grant the GWCT a perpetual royalty-free licence for use in our publications, on our website and in promotional material. The author will be credited where possible.

Unsuccessful entrants will not be contacted and no feedback on any entry will be provided. All photographs will be judged on composition, originality and technical ability.


Open A Bird Café

Appreciate the colours and fascinating behaviour of birds up close, when you put out food for them in your garden.

By feeding birds, your garden may be visited all year-round. It’s an easy activity to get kids involved with nature.

It’s in winter that you will probably get the fastest results from putting up feeders, but any time is fine.

Don’t worry if it seems to take ages for bird numbers to pick up at your feeders in autumn – they’re probably taking advantage of all the naturally-occuring seeds, berries and insects available at this time.

What you will need• bird feeders • bird table• choice of bird seed mixtures such as:• bird cake and food bars • sunflower seeds or hearts• nyjer seeds • live foods and other insect foods• lard and beef suet • cooked rice• uncooked oats

Step-by-step guideWhat to feed. Different birds prefer different foods, in the different seasons and different parts of the country. So try these different types of food and adapt to what works best in your garden. Try some of the options listed above.

What not to feed. Importantly, there are some foods you should never put out. Avoid all salted foods as they dehydrate birds. Never put out loose peanuts, dry, hard foods or large chunks of bread during the spring or summer months. Parent birds might take these back to their nests and their young can choke on it.

How to feedIt’s good to invest in quality feeders and roofed bird tables, which will keep food dry and stop it going off. As a good start, try: a hanging plastic feeder containing sunflower

hearts for (mainly) finches, tits and sparrows; a hanging mesh feeder with peanuts for (mainly) tits; a hanging mesh feeder with fat balls for (mainly) tits and sparrows.

The next step up is a nyjer seed feeder for goldfinches, a ground feeder or bird table with an oat/fruit/fatty nibbles mix for robins and blackbirds.

Where to feed. Place the feeders high enough so they are out of reach of ground predators like cats. They should be a couple of metres away from thick cover like bushes, so that small birds can beat a hasty retreat from aerial predators such as sparrowhawks.

If you don’t get any visitors, try a different location.

Move the feeders to different locations over the course of a year so that you don’t get a build-up of debris underneath.• When to feed. It is fine to feed all year-round - just adjust

the amount you put out. In summer, when many birds leave to breed in the countryside, they’ll need less food. There’s a lot more food available naturally in autumn and even early winter, as flowers set seed and berries ripen. Fatty foods can go off in summer, so remove any which are past their best.

• Keeping it healthy. Here are our top tips:• Make sure the foods are kept in rodent-proof storage

bins• Clean your feeders. Unhygienic feeding stations can

quickly transmit diseases between birds, so clean your feeders and bird tables regularly. Wash them down with a mild disinfectant and hot water, rinsing them fully and drying them out before filling them back up with food

• Clear up under your feeders - you don’t want a problem with rodents at night.

• Dealing with unwanted visitors. You may attract creatures other than those you were hoping to help! Rats, mice, squirrels, pigeons, and members of the crow family can wolf down what was meant for smaller birds. The best solutions are:

• feeders with ‘guardian’ cages around the outside - small birds can slip through the gaps but larger creatures are excluded

• weight-activated feeders which close off the feeding ports when something heavy like a pigeon or squirrel sits on them.

Be prepared to buy the best if you are to outwit your ‘opponents’, and you may need to be quite ingenious.

Enjoy the show! Once you’ve got your feeders up in the right place with the right food, sit back with a cup of tea and watch. It’s better than any soap opera!

Wildmoor Spa Tennis League Annual Presentations 2017-18By Corin Bishop

The South Warwickshire & District Tennis Area, which includes parts of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire celebrated the end of their Wildmoor Spa Summer Tennis League season with their Annual Presentations recently. All Divisional and Cup winners were handed their awards including Stratford-on-Avon who took their fifteenth consecutive league title, Chipping Campden A took the Division One title, Inkberrow A Division Two, Chipping Campden B Division Three, Bidford-on-Avon A the

Division Four honours and Shipston-on-Stour B Division Five.

The League Secretary Corin Bishop congratulated Stratford on once more lifting the league title coming out top of the forty-seven teams in the league. In addition there was a Fair Play Plate presented, voted on by the teams, in which three teams shared the top votes to emerge victorious. They were Claverdon C, Inkberrow D and Littletons. Gavin Smithers of Moreton-in-Marsh received the Millennium Scroll as best administrator for 2017, Stratford Juniors, on their first appearance in the final, won the Junior League Cup and finally Alcester Tennis Club who were presented with the King Cup as Club of the Year.

Summer of Fun at Moreton Tennis ClubBy Sue HeadyMoreton Tennis Club is a local sports club at the top of its game. Following a £60,000 investment programme, both courts are now covered in artificial grass and illuminated by state-of-the-art LED floodlights, the first in the local area.

To celebrate the new facilities, Moreton Tennis Club held its Open Day on Wimbledon Men’s Singles Final Day (Sunday, 16 July). The event proved a tremendous success with approximately 100 local people taking part. In addition to regular tennis competitions, a wide variety of tennis-related challenges were on offer; with ‘beat the machine’, ‘speed test’, ‘bin it’ and ‘crash the cans’ proving especially popular. There were tremendous prizes to be won in both the tombola and the raffle thanks to the generosity of local sponsors such as The Redesdale Arms, ASK Italian and The Fire Service College.

Having been attracted by the new facilities, many new members have elected to join Moreton Tennis Club.

They have found the club offers a friendly environment in which to learn to play tennis, improve skills, make new friends and play lots of matches. In addition to regular social tennis, Rusty Rackets sessions have proved popular, they are ideal for players picking up their rackets again after an extended absence from the game. At the opposite end of the spectrum, winter league tennis begins this month. Moreton Tennis Club will be fielding Men’s and Mixed teams in a variety of local leagues. This means that members

of all standards and abilities have the opportunity to compete in matches against other local clubs.

Moreton Tennis Club welcomes new members of all standards and abilities. Anyone interested in finding out more should contact Club Chairman, Mike Rees, on 01608-650825. Despite the large sums that have been spent on improving the playing facilities, annual membership rates remain very affordable (Juniors £15, Students £32, Adults £90, Families £190).

1st XV Bonus Point Start U7s Start Their Journey

Roaring Rugby Camp

The new U7s (above) have got off to a good start to the rugby season with 18 young players attending their first training session and more expected in the following weeks. Matt McMinn, the Head Coach, said that the players, coaches and parents were all buzzing after the first session and they’re all looking forward to enjoying the season ahead. For many of the players it will be the first competitive sport they have played but the emphasis is on learning whilst having fun. Every one will get the sameopportunities to develop their game and to this end, the matches are all 4 aside so everybody gets more time on the ball. The team will have a mix of 17 matches interspersed with training through the year which culminates with the Minis Tour weekend in April.

The 1st XV got off to a great start in their season opener away to Drifters RFC in the Southern Counties North Division. Stow took control of the match early on with their forwards providing plenty of ball. Vice Captain Dan Salvage scored the first try after Driftersconceded a penalty. A good kick to touch 10 meters out led to a Stow lineout and Dan touching down for the 5 points. Gus Hayward added the extras with his boot followed by 3 more from another penalty. Neil Atkinson scored the team’s second try after a good break by the backs to go into half time with a 13 points to 3 lead. Stow’s confidence grew in the second half with Jeremy Darleyreacting quickly to a charged down kick, chasing it down to score a try. Drifters fought hard to come back into the game and kicked 2 penalties out of the several that Stow conceded. Stow kept to their game though and put the match beyond the home team in the final quarter. 3 more tries came through the backs, all starting in their own half. Gus Hayward scored the first with the Captain, James Holmes, taking the second. The final try was the best of the day with a break out from 50 meters seeing Holmes offload to Tom Rose who then fed Hayward to cross the line. Hayward converted his try tak-ing his points haul to 19. A 39-6 victory and a bonus point put a smile on coach Larry Cummins’ face with the away win a great start.

Roaring Rugby put on a great taster session (below) at the club’s Open Day for their Half Term Camp on the 23rd and 24th ofOctober at Stow. Its for children aged between 5 and 11 and more information can be found on their website at roaringrugby.co.uk. Roaring Rugby were just one of the attractions at the Open Day which ranged from face painting to an inflatable assault course. 9 year olds with tiger and pirate faces were soon testing their running skills whilst dragging a parachute behind them. The wooden stocks, always a popular attraction, held various coaches while children threw water laden sponges at them with glee. Despite the weather, there was a great turnout to herald the start of the new season.

Blockley Sports and Social Club

HockeyLadies 2s: The league season kicked off with a blast for the ladies 2s with a resounding win against new league members Cirencester 4s. Coming away with a 5-2 win with a fantastic bottom corner strike by Denyer-White opening the scoreline followed by a deft slip behind the keeper by Captain Peach made up for the disappointment after a previous goal was not awarded. After half time Cirencester bounced back and closed down all the options but Blockley responded with gusto and Jackson put away a hat trick in short succession; two goals from great crosses by Peach and a third from a penalty corner. Jackson was awarded Player of the Match. The team are gunning for promotion this year and this result was a great place to start! The team face Bretforten 2s on 30th September.

Ladies 1s: The ladies 1s open their season with a home game against Bristol Uni 2s, which is always a hotly contested fixture. The team are aiming to better their mid-league table finish from last year.

Training takes place at Chipping Campden School Tuesdays, 6.45-8.30 pm.

Juniors: This week sees the launch of the Blockley Junior Club with England Hockey star, Ed Horler in attendance to inspire the next generation. Full report next month.

Junior training takes place at Chipping Campden School, Thursdays, 3.45-5.15 pm.

FootballBlockley FC’s first game of the season against Shipston Colts began so well as Blockley went out excited for the season ahead. This showed in their play as they were confident, calm, organised and communicating very well. After fifteen minutes this work paid off as Blockley earned a free kick on the left centre side of Shipston’s box which Oxley curled in to the far right side of the goal to make it 1-0. Shipston pressed Blockley but couldn’t get many chances on goal through good defending and the any shots on goal they did manage to get through were wide or well saved by Pullen in goal. Shipston’s work paid off with a goal at seventy minutes when two deflections took it past Pullen. All in all it was a good display from which Blockley will take forward into next week’s game. Payne was chosen out of a lot of candidates for Man of the Match.

Blenheim Palace International Horse TrialsThe North Cotswold Hunt branch of the Pony Club took the Dodson & Horrell 100 cm Pony Club Team Eventer Challenge at the Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials. The team consisted of Holly Osborne (Little Maestro), Amy Hine (Cottagefield Harry), Poppy Clarke (Dandy) and Saskia Connor (Ballintougher Macoman).

Team manager Selina Hopkins and team coach Jo Clark said: “Our

branch won here seven years ago, so it was great to regain the title. Our team jumped early this morning and it went down to the wire. We knew the time was going to be very tight, so the girls’ team instructions were to be mindful of this and they delivered.

They are a very competitive team and all work hard with their riding, and are a talented group with great team spirit.”
